SECTION 5 - URC-300 MASTER CONTROLLER 
Mounting 
The  Master  Controller  can  be  mounted  in  any  position  near  the 
searchlight  that  is  protected  from  the  weather.  Check  in advance that 
the  coax  cable  from  the Point  Pad  and  the  wiring  harness  from  the 
searchlight can be routed to this location. Mount the Master Controller 
with the wires  and  coax  facing  down.  Use an  appropriate fastener  for 
your mounting location.  Use  a sealant in  fastener  holes  to  prevent 
moisture intrusion.
